Macadamia, Coconut, Cacao Bliss Balls with CBD

These bliss balls are delicious with or without adding CBD oil. I love creating healthier options of sweets to satisfy cravings, and CBD oil adds a bit more “chill” to the recipe, as well as an antioxidant boost. Healthy fats and flavonoids from the nuts and cacao make this sweet treat not so naughty.

CBD is the non-psychotropic cannabinoid found largely in hemp. It is the cousin of THC, which is the cannabinoid know for getting people high. CBD has many health benefits and is a well-known for dialing down anxiety and creating a sensation of calm.
